Where could I live and work?

Tick every language you can hold a conversation in. The map fills in the countries where that language is official or de facto national. The shaded territory is the rough footprint of where you could live, work, or travel without a language barrier - the top 20 most-spoken languages by total speakers (native + L2).

Languages you speak

Highlighted countries are where at least one of your selected languages is an official or de facto national language. Coverage is country-level: a city or region where the language is regionally official may still be shaded.

Country-level data only. Regional or minority-language coverage isn't reflected at country grain - speaking Tamil opens up Tamil Nadu, but the map still shades all of India. The country boundaries come from the world-atlas 110m TopoJSON; very small island nations don't render at this resolution.
